Social Media Provides Effective Ways of Instruction

Can a teacher utilize Social Media as a tool for instruction?

DUH!



The image provides so many examples for why to use social media!  It's what the kids use on a daily basis; why not utilize this tool to help provide engaging instruction! 

It connects to people around the world, provides personal branding for colleges and jobs, its how they WANT to learn!  

Edmodo.com is an excellent platform that provides social media access to teachers and students.  It resembles Facebook, but is strictly used for educational purposes.  Teachers can share info with teachers from around the nation.  They can also post tests, quizzes, notes, lesson plans, activities, etc. Students can interact with other students, ask the teacher questions after hours, and learn information through the platform.  Check it out here!
